Firefox Hanging Problem

Hi James, (or anyone who may be interested)
Firefox (v3.0.11) was hanging when trying to view Panoguide, so I went through all my themes, addons and plugins and have narrowed it down to a plugin called "Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.140.8". Disabling the plugin and everything worked again.
Just struck me that as I dont even have a clue what a java deployment toolkit 6.0.140.8 actually is or why I have it pluged-in in the first place, I doubt if I shall miss it. But perhaps someone will know or run into the same problem.

Just discovered the same hanging problem with Firefox v3.0.11. I didn't have the same plugin as you but disabling another Java plugin fixed the problem. The addon was "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U13". Don't know yet if disabling this addon will cause other problems though...

Hi Kalle,
I was wondering about another couple of plugins that seem to be simmilar to yours "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U11" & "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U16". Thinking it may be a confilct between versions. Oh well, one for mozilla I think.

Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed an unrelated problem of Firefox hanging on panoguide and other websites on pages where google maps appear.
If you are experiencing this problem, check whether you have the Firebug add-on installed and if you are using it, ensure that script debugging is disabled for panoguide (admittedly I cannot imagine anyone other than me would have it enabled surely?). This is a known problem mentioned on many websites.
I have made changes to the way google maps work on panoguide so that even if something goes wrong with google maps, the page still loads (whereas it wasn't before).
Any problems, please contact me directly

I've been using FF 3.5 with no problems. Much more stable than earlier versions of FF 3.x.

The Deployment Toolkit is a standard part of the Java plugin. It supports a java script deployJava.js
java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/...
But it's yet another Java FUBAR. Doesn't really work and lots of complaints that SUN insists are invalid.
I don't know of anyone that has had a problem because of disabling the Java Deployment Toolkit so by all means -- disable the sucker...
